The holidays may be over, but things are just getting started around the farm. 🐴✨ In today’s episode of Katching Up With Katie, I’m catching up after the holidays and diving into everything we’ve got coming up on the farm, especially the start of foaling season. I’m answering some of the most common questions I get this time of year, like what “Foal Alert” is, what we do right after a foal is born, when and why we intervene during labor, why we use lights during breeding season, and how much newborn foals typically weigh. We also recap Christmas, talk goals going into the new year, and chat about life on the farm as things start picking up again. 💕 If you’ve been through foaling season before, what’s one thing you wish you’d known the first time? And if you’re new here, what questions do you still have? 👇 Chapters: 00:00 Welcome 6:38 Wildgrain Ad 14:00 Storytime 21:25 My Goals For 2026 33:54 My Speeding Tickets 36:17 Questions and Answers 42:00 Horse's Birthdays 52:00 Last Episode of 2025 ▶Check out my new merch: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/new ▶▶DIGITAL DOWNLOADS: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/digital-downloads ============================================================ ▶▶▶Connect With Me!
